Hi,

When you block or delete contacts they remain in your Tools\Options\Privacy
menu. The thing is they stay there forever. Any way of removing them? Is it
an ini or Registry thing?

Thanks,


J.

Greetings John,

You can right-click contacts in the Allow/Block lists in the Privacy tab and choose the
Delete option. The Delete option is only available if that particular user has removed you
off their main contact list. Otherwise, you can't remove them. They're stored on the
server, there's no magical registry entry to delete.
